MULTI-TUBE MANOMETER

A 36-tube tilting manometer for measuring pressure on models in subsonic wind tunnels and fan test sets, including TecQuipment’s Subsonic Wind Tunnel series. A backboard with graduated scale holds each manometer tube. For safety and convenience, the manometer uses water as the manometer fluid. This is via an adjustable reservoir with fine-adjust hand-wheel held at the side of the equipment. Water colouring is included to aid visibility.

The top of each manometer tube has a connection piece for tubing to connect to pressure tappings on the equipment being monitored. The whole manometer tube assembly is mounted on a swivel. This allows it to be tilted in pre-set increments to increase the sensitivity of measurement. Adjustable feet enable the whole apparatus to be precisely levelled before use. The manometer is supplied with operating instructions, a filling funnel and a spirit level.

Key features:

• Thirty-six tube tilting manometer for measuring pressure taken from monitoring points on models in subsonic wind tunnels
• Uses water as manometer fluid with colouring for ease of visibility
• Easy-to-read scale common to each manometer tube
• Preset incline levels for consistency and accuracy, up to five times magnification
• Pressure reading level preset by adjustable fluid reservoir, includes fine-adjustment handwheel
• Adjustable feet for precise set up
